I have been getting on great with a woman in her mid forties on here and was hoping we might meet up...I think she is sexy as hell!

She has just messaged to say that she's decided that because I have a number of veris from younger/slimmer women, she feels se would be a bit intimidated and too selfconscious for us to meet up.

Does the type of people someone has met before ever intimidate you or make you worry that you won't meet the grade (for want of a better expression)?

No, if someone messages me I assume they like my profile and would like to meet if we get on.

There's an awful lot of people on here with body issues I'm surprised they ever meet

Yup. Regularly. I don't want to put myself through that sort of negative comparison so I just won't go there.

Nope. I don't even check out someone's previous verifications for this very fact. As long as they've met others, and their pics and profile pique my interest then I'll give them a go.

I don't know this woman but I feel that not meeting someone who has shown an obvious interest just because of their previous meets is a bit of a weak excuse. I do hope she rethinks.

Look great..

Doesnt really matter how someone looks, even tho it attracts attention. More importantly is someone whois fun to be with and you get on, is my thinking..

I don't read previous veris before I meet someone to avoid that kind of thinking. Plus veris only show part of someone's Fab story, not the whole so I'd rather make my own mind up. I'm more likely to be put off if someone messages me and tells me I have a gorgeous body, since I know what it looks like out of my public photo gallery and they'd be bound to be disappointed when confronted by the reality.

Don't look at other people verifications other than to see how recent they have met to judge if they are going to turn up or not.

But everyone makes sure their photos on here are the best taken. I do tend to warn some guys that my pics may be better than real life, but no-one has every complained.

Had a couple of guys run out on me halfway through the meet though!

I've had exactly this. Young very fit guy, all his previous veris are from completely stunning gym fit women and his veris to them go on about how amazingly sexy and hot they were. I just know my body will be a complete anticlimax so I won't meet them...especially when they want to travel a fair way and get a hotel. I just feel pressured into being something amazing when in reality I'm a middle aged tired mum.

No, each and every lady I have sex with has something unique and special that made me think 'I want sex with you'. I'd be slightly concerned that she was worrying about what she thought I might be thinking than enjoying herself.

This happened to one of my recent meets. A lady wouldnt meet him because i had veried him. If only she knew how disgusting my tummy is she'd have felt so much better! Must admit i do check out people veris and have been put off before. Usually if theyve met much younger girls

Would feel all old and saggy in comparison! Lol x

I do have a look and also at some friends. If they are all skinny I think "he's not going to like me".

But if he was genuine about meeting I'd not be put off by it. Would be crazy to worry about comparing yourself to some woman you may not even know

It's hard to explain, but it only seems to happen where that is the only veris displayed, I guess for me there is a bit more to it...i spend quite a while chatting and if we clicked on every other level I guess it wouldn't be an issue....so I guess there must be something else giving me doubts about meeting...

For me, I am put off if they have veris from people who I would judge to be into very different things to me...bareback sex, meets with multible men (I'm not really into greedy girls), a certain type of dogging, etc....I think we all draw conclusions about what kind of person we might potentially be meeting based on past veris...at least I certainly do..

Nope can't say I would feel intimidated as I don't see the point of comparing myself to others on here. If you're looking at anothers profile you are only seeing what they want you to see, which as we know might not be the full picture.

Also as i don't have a 'type' per se I meet a variety of different ages & body shaped men. I'm sure I am not alone in this, variety after all is the spice of life.

I'm talking guys that contact us and I say thanks but not for me... And then they get abusive.. if I'm talking to them prior to saying no.... I will be amazingly sexual. I am just not stupid enough to believe all the suck up comments. Some men like big ladies but not as many as make out they Do.

Some men have a definite "type" and that comes across in their veris. If I'm not of the same "type" then I will be put off.

I can only speak for myself but if a guy has in the past met better than me i dont see why he would lower his standards to me, if he can do better he should do better

I'm not actually a feel sorry for myself person, I don't think I'm ready for the knackers yard just yet and I'm not a shrinking Violet in the corner, I'm just self awear and realiatic

Yes that's what I don't understand.

If someone has messaged you there must be some inital attraction that made them do so otherwise why would they bother?

Some people have tastes which vary. How you compare to someone else is irrelevant. You may be bigger or you may be smaller. But if someone likes you then who they have seen before makes no difference to the fact they find you attractive due to the shape you are. Not because you are a certain ratio of volume different to another person.

Andy has been with small women and large women. They were all excellent and attractive for a variety of reasons. Some large women don't have certain features smaller women do and some smaller women don't have features larger women do. The same goes for men.

People are attracted to more than one paradigm of human shape and they are attracted so for the very things which make the shapes different.

Plus ca change.

I'm just me & if they message me wanting to meet & I'm attracted to them to, then I'll meet them. I just assume they were attracted enough to me to message in the first place.

If someone has varied tastes, then I'd expect their veries to reflect that they'd met a range of different types of people. This isn't just a fat thing - if all their verifications were from superBBW and they were forever popping up on threads to extol the virtues of very large women then the same applies, because I'm not that big. Or if they only seem to meet blondes. Or if their profile goes on about trying to meet milfs/Cougars/wanting to be a toy boy.

Exactly my point.

I think intimidated is perhaps the wrong word in the op. More put off.

"... Does the type of people someone has met before ever intimidate you or make you worry that you won't meet the grade (for want of a better expression)?"

Honest answer - yes

I do have a nosey at previous veris and if i dont think id make the grade or theres a common pattern in who they meet which isnt someone like me then im very hesitant and often dont message or meet.

This doesn't just happen on FabS. In the real world too, if a really handsome, tall guys starts chatting me up, I start wondering what is wrong with him. He couldf have picked a really tall, attractive woman, yet he is there taking the time to make me feel special; weirdo

"Dont aim to do it. Generally look at verifications to see if they have had past meets. but I have to admit I've done this once, saw the Amazing looking women he had met and was put off by it.

But everyone makes sure their photos on here are the best taken. I do tend to warn some guys that my pics may be better than real life, but no-one has every complained.

Had a couple of guys run out on me halfway through the meet though!

I'm very insecure about my body & seeing pics of a man's previous meets normally makes me feel pretty rubbish - their age doesn't bother me.

When I 1st joined I thought the men who wanted to meet me were just desperate for sex & the fat woman would do but it doesn't appear to be the case as I've met some more than once.

I make sure they've read my profile because I don't recognise the lady in my pics - the gent who took them did a fantastic job hiding my wobbly bits!!

No one has complained (yet!!)

Yes that's what I don't understand.

If someone has messaged you there must be some inital attraction that made them do so otherwise why would they bother?

Or is more or a case that you're doing the comparing instead of them....

Yes of course it is the woman doing the comparing. Everyone has issues of some sort"

I know, I do too!

I'm only going by the OP's scenario ~ two people seemingly getting on well and then off as doubts appear because previous displayed veri's have been slimmer & younger.

All I'm saying is that wouldnt put me off if we were getting on well.

This is exactly why I have a shit profile. I can't compete with the women on here. Fantastic pics and profiles. Women of all shapes sizes ages colours.

If I chat to someone and they still want to meet me after they've seen my pic then that's great. They find something about me that they like. Doesn't matter who they have met before or will meet next. All that matters is that me and that person like each other.

An interesting though......

I would have a gander at veris but that would be if I have not met them before....

Mainly do I fit in to demographic eg male and age....it would not be the be all and end all

For me I have only played with a few people on my veris.....and I am happy they are not overly sexual

I take each person on my own interaction with them

If a person sends me a message and in their profile they have written a specific type of woman they prefer to meet I just make sure they are fully aware that I am not a slim or petite lady. If they continue to message them I have no problem past that point.

There are enough reasons to not meet someone. Lets not add a another unnecessary one. Chat to the individual and suss out if they are feeding you bs. You ladies are always saying you can see through it so put your skills in action. Don't dismiss someone immediately because they have met different types of women to yourself.

There...

If a man sends me a message and he has stated preferences for curvier ladies written in his profile as well as having veris from curvier ladies then I delete. I am not blessed with large boobs or an ass to decently fill a pair of hands. I cannot imagine for the life of me why he has sent the initial message beyond being a)d*unk or b)horny. Everyone has preferences and often they're apparent in a profile or published veris. Never question a rejection - it can make you go around in circles whilst going quietly mad...!

I totally get this. I'm exactly the same. It's not rocket science to work out someone's type and more often than not I'm mlies away from it. I'd feel very self conscious and wonder why they would ever want me.

She has just messaged to say that she's decided that because I have a number of veris from younger/slimmer women, she feels se would be a bit intimidated and too selfconscious for us to meet up.

Does the type of people someone has met before ever intimidate you or make you worry that you won't meet the grade (for want of a better expression)?"

I've had a woman ask me about this type thing while we on a meet.

It was a little awkward as I don't like to discuss others due to discretion - I then got paranoid wondering if she was trying to suss me out to if I would blab about her!

It then stopped being sexy

I check veris to see if they have met someone before who is describing themselves as BBW or fat..

I think this comes from a couple of POF dates years back when I was thinner where the person looked me up and down in horror as if my pics hadn't already told them I was overweight.

I don't want to be a disappointment so I make sure they have met and enjoyed people of a similar size to me

I wouldn't meet someone if I suspected I wasn't the usual type he/she fancied. I could never relax and wouldn't feel sexy so there would be no point in it. I realise people don't always fancy just one type of person but I'd rather be at the top of their types list than at the bottom of it.

And for those that think oh no not another needy woman with low self esteem that just wants strangers to tell her she's gorgeous, you're wrong, I'm just giving my opinion.

Also most women (and maybe men too for all I know) have some kind of self esteem issue so it's the norm and not something I'm going to apologise for.

hey you are actually gorgeous and your figure is amazing so what amazes me because you do seem quite confident, if you fancy the man in question and he floats your boat why would you allow who had been there before to affect your interest in him the others mean nothing to you ,I personally hide my veris for this reason and show if required but I do find that a difficult one to fathom

Plenty of guys like 'milfs', they get that we come with flaws and our bodies have been through stuff. Maybe they're bored of 'perfection' and want something different? Some women love guys with scars, i don't see why men are any different?

I have pics that don't hide anything, this is why when someone messages me i'm thinking they'll like me anyway, (or sometimes i can tell if i'm a fetish but not always) but if they wanna fuck ma and i want them, then i go for it. I'm here for a good time, not to start worrying about my body and that.

I put milf in quotes coz i know some people don't use the term and was using it loosely it coz just means older woman usually, i was supposed to be saving typing time but now had to type all this out to explain so next time i am not gonna try to save time. I should have learned by now never to cut corners as it usually means taking longer to do something.

"I have been getting on great with a woman in her mid forties on here and was hoping we might meet up...I think she is sexy as hell!

She has just messaged to say that she's decided that because I have a number of veris from younger/slimmer women, she feels se would be a bit intimidated and too selfconscious for us to meet up.

Does the type of people someone has met before ever intimidate you or make you worry that you won't meet the grade (for want of a better expression)?"

Yeah definitely,probably the main reason I don't end up meeting men im chatting to

"Yup. Regularly. I don't want to put myself through that sort of negative comparison so I just won't go there. "

Exactly this. I feel a bit blah about my body at the moment and I can't bear to put myself through any comparisons which is why I'm not meeting!

Someone with self esteem issues isn't going to change because some think they should...just like some people are going to try sex with people outwith their usual type if it's available to them.

Insecure people aren't needy, and confident people aren't smug, but both are just fine here and unlikely to be missing out with people who aren't what they are looking for anyway (for what ever reason), IMO

Who would have fun on a meet where they are intimidated, what ever caused it.. Or is the lady not meant to feel what she actually feels?!?

Exactly my point.

I think intimidated is perhaps the wrong word in the op. More put off.

'intimidated' is the word that the lady in question chose to use in her message to me....hence why I used it here

I was referring to the way I feel. I wouldn't be intimidated by your verifications. I'm not saying others wouldn't be."

This was my original point. I don't care what someone thinks of my reasoning - if I'm not going to be relaxed and enjoying myself then I just won't meet that person, I'll meet someone else instead who I WILL feel relaxed with and enjoy myself! "
so what makes you feel relaxed about a guy lots and lots of text messages ,lots of veris from other women or maybe speaking on the telephone or meeting in person in a public place for a social ,I always feel relaxed in any scenario not because I'm the best looking I'm not but because that is me

I (miss) look at other peoples veris to see the calibre of people they meet. I used to do it for the reason that if I felt she was "too good looking" or had a much better body than me then I wouldn't feel confident enough taking my clothes off as would feel I was been compared to her.

However as I've improved my body and are now a lot more happier and confident with it I no longer do this. Slightly different but recently speaking to and had a social meet with a very good looking couple who previously I would have said "nooo I can't compete with that" but now I'm just excited to play.

The photos of me on our profile I like to make sure they truly depict me (stretch marks and all) so that the people who are messaging and want to meet know about my 'flaws' so there's no surprises once the clothes come off

I know what you mean, you worded it ok for me and others have the same opinion. Depression, miscarriages (keeping pregnancy a secret until it's more viable), is hidden in society and things like that because they're negative, even films have to have a happy ending every single time...we don't really know how to handle negative stuff and sometimes try to help, when really all we probably should do is listen.

Nobody with a poor self image asked anyone to help them but some of us shoved our thoughts into their faces anyway.

This is true

I think a lot of people think that because your not confident in your looks you will be a boring meet, crying in your coffee and talking down on yourself all the time

That certainly isn't true with me, I'm a very out going person, talk to anybody and happy with my life, I'm just realistic and I know I'm nothing great to look and and also know I'm not what 90% of the guys are looking for

When I meet people I don't even talk about myself in that way as I know its not what people want to hear, I suppose on here I'm just more open to talking about it when the topic comes up because its just a forum subject, its not something I disguss in real life though

We all have our feelings and reasons behind those feelings, its what makes us us, I've never had a problem when meeting people but like its already been said you need to meet who you feel comfortable with

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

For all the ladies who decline meets because they think they're not good enough, two points (in case they haven't been made)

1. I can't be the only man on here that revels in the variety of body / face / hair types that I can meet on here.

2. Maybe you're more their type than that other woman was?

I used to be worried when I saw the veris of the lovely guys who contacted me. The ladies they met looked gorgeous on their pics and I felt old and inadequate!

Now I've been swinging for around 18 months, I've seen many of these 'gorgeous ' women in real life - and I'm no longer worried!

I find sadly that there's often a huge difference between how people look/come across on their profiles and what you actually get when you meet them!

So ladies and gents - never be worried about competing with these 'amazing' people - most of them are no more amazing than you or I!

And if people didn't like the look/sound of you - then they wouldn't message/reply - would they??

Are you assuming that all people worry about is their body?

Some things you can't do anything about

Like age, facial looks etc

People feel intimidated for many reasons and its not just their weight

Well I understand and it's best just to go for it as you never know it may be great, but us humans are complicated

Meeting guys in there 20s took a lot of thought and the pressure of not being good enougth can be all in the mind, not everyone will like you and tis best to bounce back from bad meets, for the good ones are memorable

For me?

Honest answer?

Years of being told I was fat and ugly

Not a sob story here so no

please I'm just answering a question

I wasn't even allowed to walk round the house in anything other than fully clothed, I remember one day walking out the bathroom with a towel on to my bedroom and he saw me and told me to get dressed as I made him feel sick, I had comments like that daily

You know some days I look at myself and think....actually your not that bad, then I remember comments he used to make and think, actually who are you kidding you are

I suppose I look back and think if that's how my husband saw me, you know that guy who was supposed to love me, how am I supposed to expect anyone to see me any different

I'm a very confident person in many ways, I'm day to day life I'm fine, I bought 3 kids up practically alone they have turned out great, work wise I'm doing good, I know I'm good at my job, I get on with people and I never compair myself to anybody really but when I'm put in a situation where my looks are an issue then yes my past comes back and my insicuraries come out

I wish I could think he was a wanker and I'm as good as everybody else but I can't

Why do you assume it's feeling like a fat bastard? ("Work hard" and you too can be slim!) I can't do anything about my height or my skin, I'm not going to go blonde, or get loads of tattoos and piercings, or age/get younger to suit.

I don't have a confidence problem, I look at plenty of other people and think I'm far better looking than them. But if I'm going to feel like I'd be compared unfavourably then bugger that, I'll just meet someone else and enjoy myself.

i feel you could choose to learn to be cherished, xx its a tough challenge but youve done harder things in you life, including not pulverizing to a pulp, the person that did this to you, you need to get to this state mentally with him and take back your power, and every time you hear that voice visualize him in a cage, locked up, over there somewhere, it takes the voice, outside of yourself and stops you thinking it, in your own voice xx

No more daft than letting anything else put you off meeting someone. We all gather information about a person and make a judgement about whether we want to meet them. it's part of building up a picture of a person. Not sure why it should be seen as daft.

I always check previous veris, if theyre slim chances are I drift of messaging eventually. I know its stupid and I know if the person messaging didnt like my pics they wouldnt have got in touch in the first place but I guess we can be our own worst enemies at times. I think anyone whos ever had confidence issues can easily become a slave to comparing themselves to others.

Yeah, probably. I've had it ingrained in me for too many years to be able to honestly say I'm independent from the images presented to us from an early age. Things like small/petite equals feminine.

I guess I can see where your coming from but where all presented with the same images I guess its just in our makeup whether it has a negative impact on us or not.

How I see it is, I've always been grossly overweight, I've always been average looking it I've always tried to make the most of myself and for me I've been happy with that.

Now if I was the sort of person that was bothered, I'd be more bothered about these threads on here that really praise big women/bbws and some of the negativity, now I'm never going to be slim but I'm not that big anymore and all the media hype about big women and yes they should be proud of who they are but some things I read on here and in the media could make you feel as though it's a negative thing not to be big

I'm not intimidated by any of my meets' previous veris...I take it that after I've built up a rapport and shared my private pics with a guy - and he still wants to meet - that he finds me attractive.

Presumably she had read your verifications before you started chatting and knew what she was comparing herself to at the outset?

Hands up, guilty as charged.

I have to say that I get lots and lots of offers of various meets, (like all women on here), but I turn down guys who sometimes have met younger slimmer women. It is a case of my insecurity and I need to believe they do really really want to meet me.

Hmmmm maybe I have just been way to honest lol

How I see it is, I've always been grossly overweight, I've always been average looking it I've always tried to make the most of myself and for me I've been happy with that.

I'd like to point out this isn't just a fat thing! When I say small/petite is more feminine what I actually mean is small, not thin. I have big hands, big feet, literally big bones (not in the excusing my weight sense but actually big). I'm a big person. We're told from childhood little girls are supposed to be little and pretty and dainty and petite who grow up into elegant women, not clunking great heffers who take up more space in the world than half the men on here.

Re media hype around big women, yes there's been more of late. But if you ever wanted to redress the balance you could just stop looking for it and every advert on TV, every soap, most health related news stories, every magazine, every cartoon, every mannequin, everything that's not specifically aimed at a plus-sized audience will remind you that slim is the ideal.
